The Data we process

The following data can be processed:

1) Ordinary personal data which you may provide when interacting with website functions, including browser data or requests to use services offered on the Website (e.g. registration in any reserved areas, competitions and other initiatives which may be present on the Website, use of any Apps, requests for information and reports submitted also through contact forms, etc.) as well as data collected by cookies as specified in the Cookie Policy;

2) Special categories of data such as those relating to health status (Article 9 of the GDPR). Where that occurs, processing is performed on the basis of the user’s consent, to fulfil legal or regulatory obligations or contractual or pre-contractual obligations involving the supply of goods or services (including requests for information on our products and their correct use). In any event, the legal basis for processing of particular categories of data is Article 9.2 (a) and (i) of the GDPR.

Why and how we process your personal data

With your consent, the Company may process your ordinary personal data to enable you to benefit from the available services and functionalities and optimise their performance, to perform statistics on its usage, to manage requests and reports received through the Website, also regarding the Company’s Ethical Code, to manage your registration to any restricted-access areas and initiatives (e.g. competitions) which may be present on the Website, pursuant to Article 6.1.a of the GDPR. The Company may also process your personal data to fulfil obligations stemming from laws, regulations and European Union law: the legal basis for the processing for this purpose is Article 6.1. (c) of the GDPR.

Furthermore, with your optional consent, your ordinary personal data may also be used for institutional communications (including newsletters). The legal basis for the processing for this purpose is Article 6.1. (a) of the GDPR.

Finally, the Company may process your ordinary and sensitive personal data to protect its rights in legal proceedings or to apply the Menarini Group Code of Conduct (Articles 6.1.(f) and 9.2.(f) of the GDPR).

All your data are processed using automatic and electronic instruments suitable to ensure full security and confidentiality.

Necessary processing and optional processing

The forms to be completed on this website require you to confer personal data which are strictly necessary to handle your communications and requests. Such Data are marked with an asterisk [*]. If you do not wish to confer them, we will not be able to handle your communication/request.

Conversely, forms may also provide the possibility to confer personal data which are not strictly necessary to handle your requests: providing such data is optional - failure to do so has no consequence.

Browsing data

If you only visit the Website (i.e., without sending communications or using any of the available services/functions), the processing of your data is limited to browsing data i.e., data whose transmission to the Website is necessary for the functioning of the computers which operate the Website and of the Internet communication protocols. This category includes, for example, IP addresses or computer domain used to visit the Website and other parameters pertaining to the operating system used to connect to the Website. The Company collects these and other data (such as, for example, number of visits and time spent on the Website) merely for statistical purposes and in anonymous form in order to monitor the functioning of the Website and improve its performance. Such data is not collected to be associated with other information regarding, or for the identification of, users; however, such information, by its very nature, may enable the Company to identify users through processing and association with data held by third parties. Browsing data are normally deleted following processing in anonymous form but can be stored and used by the Company to detect and identify perpetrators of any computer offences committed to the detriment of the Website or using the Website. Without prejudice to this possibility and to the provisions of the Cookie Policy, the browsing data described above are stored only temporarily, in compliance with law.

Links to other websites

This Privacy Policy applies only to the Website as defined above. Even though the Website may contain links to other websites (known as third party websites), please be informed that the Company does not perform any access or control over cookies, web beacons or other user-tracking technologies that may be active on such third party websites, on the contents and materials published thereon, or on their methods of processing of your personal data; for this reason, the Company expressly declines any liability for such matters. You should therefore verify the privacy policies of such third party websites and collect information about their terms and conditions and about how they process your personal data.

How we store data and for how long

In compliance with Article 5.1.(c) of the GDPR, the computers and programmes used by the Company are set up in such a way to reduce the use of personal and identifying data to a minimum. Such data are processed only to the extent required to achieve the purposes indicated in this Policy, and will be stored for as long as strictly necessary for achievement of the specific purposes pursued - in any event, the criterion used to determine the storage period is based on compliance with time limits permitted by law and the principles of data minimisation, storage limitation or rational management of our records.
